Altamar is dedicated to curating an informative discussion on how global issues impact all of us. The show avoids the typical Washingtonian US bias and talks about accelerating changes from a global perspective by featuring diverse guests on a range of foreign policy topics. We aim to rise above the polarization that detracts from the public’s understanding of crucial global issues. Hosted by political analyst Peter Schechter and columnist Muni Jensen.

episode 13: Colombia Ousts the Center [S5, E13]
This is the first time that the left will rule in this democracy of 50 million historically conservative people, who have now expressed a deep desire for change. Gustavo Petro, a controversial former guerrilla, congressman, and Mayor, beat a rich and eccentric populist who ran from the right. Petro promises a radical transformation of Colombia’s economic model. Can he deliver?
Altamar hosts Peter Schechter and Muni Jensen are joined by Miguel Silva, advisor, author, lawyer, and former Secretary-General of the Presidency in Colombia. Altamar’s ‘Téa’s Take’ by Téa Ivanovic examines the overwhelming youth support for Petro.
